[Meet Up: Gold Coast]

Another Meetup on the 19th of November @ 2:30pm. 
same place as usual. 

For any newcomers, It’s an informal get together to catch up with plantheads to share, swap, chat and learn. Very chill environment with a welcoming group of plant enthusiasts. 

 

Bring along any excess plants or seed you may have (though it’s not a must) and talk all things plants. 

 

Any questions hit me up. 

 

Hope you can make it. Enjaytee

[Mandragora turcomanica & Lagochilus]

Ok @Yves0071  I’m after M.turcomanica in particular. I’ll keep looking. Thanks for your response. 
 

@withdrawl clinic yes lagochilus is an absolute pain to grow in oz from what I understand. This one would be getting grown in uk in a controlled environment. 

[Mandragora turcomanica & Lagochilus]

Hi @Yves0071 you’re in France right? would you post to the uk?

[Diplopterys]

Yeah @Flux I understand how “rare” it is. I feel like cabrerana doesn’t even exist. The species I’m after I think is D.lutea?? Should be able to get some to Aus easy enough just didn’t want to go through the bother if someone already had.  

[EGA: Call for Bulk Seed Donations - Seed Care Package]

Nice one Ronny. I’ll get involved

This weekend

[Meet Up: Gold Coast]

 

Hey gang. Date is set.
Sunday the 3rd of October from 2:30pm onwards

 

Come along and bring some plants/seeds to trade or gift a newcomer. Always a fun afternoon. 

 

See you there  

[Diplopterys]

@Zedo no, diplo is a vine.. so closer to caapi in appearance.   

[Diplopterys]

Ok so there is a Diplopterys (not cabrerana) getting around the Us which has been reported to contain nndmt. If anyone has gotten this into Aus can you please contact me. Cheers.  

[Meet Up: Gold Coast]

Hey all. Im thinking of having another meet n swap mid spring if anyone is interested? Last one was a pretty epic turnout… let’s see if we can top it.

[When caapi flowers? and is it self pollinating?]

My vine was about the same size as yours @sagiXsagi. 

A few month back I gave it a prune taking off roughly 30%. I was also getting impatient with it not flowering so I started dumping chicken poo and bananas peels at the base of it. (I consume a lot of bananas) I tossed a couple of handfuls of potassium at the base of it too. Seems like a good prune and a heavy feed did the trick because not long after that, I noticed extra floral nectaries (efn’s) which I hadn’t seen on my caapi before. (Efn pics below)

 

2 weeks after noticing the efn’s I noticed flower buds forming. Whether there is any correlation between the efn’s and flowers showing up I’m not sure?? 

 

After another 2 weeks the buds started to open.

 

I now have a lot of flowers showing up but they are only on the side of the vine that gets exposed to full sun. 
Interesting that @Buttsack also pruned his recently and it flowered not long after.

 

Anyway… I reckon hack it back and give it a solid feed. 

p.s. I’m in the subtropics.  

 

[Psychotria DW and ‘Brazil’ leaves]

Me? Show off? Nah. I just love plants is all. I’m personally not fussed on fancy names and cultivars but a friend of mine is collecting psychotrias and I said I’d help them track some down. For the record I’m not a supporter of Herb****tics, some might even say I’m anti Herb****tics. And yeah, I have learnt a lot from you… and some other guy called Planthelper. Mostly good stuff of course. ;)

[Psychotria DW and ‘Brazil’ leaves]

Hey gang. Looking for all of the dw psychotria leaves except for nexus and DW06. Also looking for ‘Brazil’ 
So…

Brazil

DW02

DW03

DW04
DW05

DW07

DW08

If you have any or all of these that would be great. I might have something to trade or can do $$$. 

 

(Please only reply if you’re 100% certain of the cultivar you have)
 

Thanks

Hey good job on the presentation to everyone involved. Great speakers and some solid info. 

[P.som var Album ‘Galania’]

@Glaukus  Ay nothing worth having is easy to obtain. Yes very pretty and def worth growing, I think I have some sorted. If all goes to plan I’ll have some to share with the community in the near future.  

[P.som var Album ‘Galania’]

As the title says looking for a good source of P.som var Album ‘Galania’

[Psilocybin Mushrooms of SE QLD, Australia]

Hey @Boof the ones in the long grass are c.molybdites and it looks like you have a few different sorts in the tray pic. Toss out anything you are unsure of. I can’t comment on the other short grass and leafy mulch ones. 

[Iboga cultivation in Melbourne?]

I’m in sub tropics and mine look like it’s on the verge of death during winter. Really not confident with it growing in vic, that’s not to say it can’t be done. ;)

 If you can keep temps above 15°C she’ll be right. Go for it!

[Psilocybin Mushrooms of SE QLD, Australia]

Ooooooh yeeeeah!

[P.somniferum ’Izmir Giganteum’ seeds]

All done. Posting today.
